Photos Of Strangers - Neatorama

Inspired by a similar idea in Atlanta early last year, a writer left two disposable cameras on park benches in Brooklyn and Manhattan. With just a note telling people to take any photo they like and her hope that someone wouldn't run away with the cameras she left them for the day.

On returning she found the cameras exactly as she's left them, with no exposures left. The developed photographs are an interesting slice of city life across one day.

Oh man, that last one, wth.

That's great. I once had a camera stolen, with a full exposed roll inside. It really ate at me. I made a book of poems about it, with each poem standing in for a missing picture, but as any of the cynics in the audience can attest, it wasn't worth s*hit compared to the original images.

I'm suspicious. In my experience, most people can't take pictures this good.

I think the bike lady picture is the most striking.
